Yes, english automotive journalists seem to have a significant advantage over yanks, although some Americans (notably the staff of C&D) write quite well.

Those plucky Brits certainly have a way with words. My favorite US automotive writer would unquestionably be Peter Egan. I can't remember if he still writes for R&T anymore...

Very nice post, well done

Now 2 new news for me:
1- The compression ratio 13.0:1 ex. Ducati 1098R is 12.8:1....
2- Fast than the current 997tt from 100km/h till 200km/h , maybe ..

Cant wait for more Test drive...

CAR Magazine's Verdict

Porsche 911 GT3 (2009) CAR review | Road Testing Reviews | Car Magazine Online

Anyone else notice a severe decline in the overall quality of CAR, especially relative to Evo, over the past 2-3 years?

Mods can start new thread if they want; I just kept it here since it goes along well with the DR review.
